Dig this

by Amy - 12/27/14 3:11 PM

Dig this site because you are multi cultural and I believe in God, but not the R word. God is too big to be about any one thing. So, I am very meta-physical. However, we are moving into an 8 year. Yeah. My birthdate is all ones. 11 with 4 ones. Master 22. So thanks for this site. Dig it.

I was Born August 8th, 1981 (8-8-81)

EVERYTHING for me revolves around the number 8.
God or not, we need to understand someone is telling us (World) something.

Hint: Look at an "Hour Glass"
Answer: Time
Conclusion: Race Against Time

Point: Stop wasting your time praying to ANY religion.
Enjoy each other and this beautiful World that we are "Lucky" to be in
We could of been a Fly, Frog, Dog, etc. (Or maybe not even here)

Opinion: Go put a smile on every child's face. That is my goal.
I currently go to Law school. When I come out, I will take over EVERY
child from every parent (except good ones).
I refuse to believe some parents can take care of their kids better
than myself.
I need to take matters into my own hands. Before I die, I must help
every child out of their misery, abuse, misunderstanding & make
sure they know what matters most. "Them"

A $1,000 can build a playground anywhere in this World which would allow
kids to play in, exercise & get their mind off of Life for a moment and enjoy themselves.

I for about 7 years have continued to see the time of 12:08 and it bothered me for years then I just let it go and forgot about it all the while still seeing it, now here's the sketchy part I'm dtanding in an MVA line in Florida reading over my birth certificate and guess what I was born at 12:08!! And aside from that I come to notice that whatever store you go into and see unused clocks that are for sale such as wal mart all the clocks are printed on the plastic box as 12:08.. Anyone think anything of this!!

waking up to find a figure 8 imprinted on skin

Ok im wondering if this has anything to do with the relationship im in. Before i laid down for the night there were questions regarding if our relationship would work ive never felt deeper or more connected than i do in this relationship . So im curious as to ifpossibly the apperance of this symbol is almost like a visual cue that " Our lives are meant to be fforever intwined?

I was in a relationship with a man with whom the number 8 held a very significant place in both our lives. In almost every aspect of our individual lives and relationship together, the number 8 appears. I do not know why this is but it becomes creepy.

Seeing 8s everywhere

by Anonymous - 12/08/13 11:50 AM

I recently had a situation that I have prayed for clarity on. Since that prayer... everywhere I look I see 8, in double but mostly triple. Still uncertain as to what that means or pertains to, but definitely good information on your site.

Always shopping!

I have a infinity mark on my left palm... I never noticed it before yesterday and it's very light. When my hand is wet it is more visible. I just have never seen this type of mark before and was trying to figure out what it means. Any help or ideas to what it is would be helpful. Thanks
